Excerpted from the website:

e began our love of the Mercedes-Benz in 1972 when we purchased a 280SEL 4.5. It was chocolate brown over bamboo leather. My mother really loved that car, enough that we bought another. Finally in 1974 we purchased a 220 diesel with 180,000 miles, drove it another 200 thousand miles and sold it for more than we paid! After that we were hooked. Owning several more Mercedes into 1980 we decided that the service bills we were paying at the "dealers" were too much. Everyone in our family was driving a Mercedes at the time and it seemed like we were always having something done. At the age of fifteen and with the help of my best friend Scot Severson and my father, we began buying Mercedes, fixing them up and selling them. This began out of my parents garage in St. Charles ILL. in 1981.
